2.

Attach the safety cable around the bar, through at least one eyelet, 
and through the pan safety hole (near the connector socket). 
Remove any excess slack by making extra loops around the bar. 
Then join with a carabiner and screw the carabiner shut.

In the event of a fall, the falling item has less opportunity 
to get speed before the cable catches it.

This prevents them catching on any moving parts.
